Dear DC2RVA MOA signatories,

Thank you so very much for your continued feedback and thoughts as we work through the complex 106 process for the DC to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail project!

Over the past four years, and particularly over the past six months, we have garnered an incredible amount of data on this corridor including significant public and consulting

party feedback. I've attached a revised MOA (both a Track Changes copy and a Clean copy as sometimes the track changes copy gets a bit dizzying) to this document that is

inclusive of all of the feedback received to date, including:

- Edits to the first draft from the Virginia AG's office received in September 2018

- Edits to the first draft from the FRA received in November 2018

- Edits made based on DHR review and updated effect determinations

- Edits made by DRPT and team to address comments received during the scores of communications with consulting parties and the public regarding cultural resources along

the corridor

- Additional edits and thoughts as received from DRPT, FRA, ACHP, DHR, and others throughout the process

In addition to the revised MOA, I've also attached an excel sheet that outlines all of the actual mitigation stipulation changes that have occurred since the original draft. This

shows what modifications were made based on consulting party feedback to address their requests and concerns....and to have all mitigation in one spot as scrolling through so

many pages is daunting!

Lastly, just a quick note that I reduced the quality of the maps so that the documents can be easily emailed. I will replace them with full-quality versions when the document

goes final. 

Again, thank you again for your help and please let me, Emily Stock, or any other team member know if we can address any questions. I will be sending this MOA in clean

format to consulting parties for their concurrent review likely next week to assure that all comments are received and considered prior to ratifying the document.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Kerri

DHR has used similar language in other agreement documents to indicate that it's not the federal agency itself doing the work, but a consultant hired by the federal agency.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you again for your edits to the MOA. I'm making them now. I just had one quick question. As you alluded to in your sidebar comments, DRPT will be using a consultant

to do the mitigation commitments but they aren't sure who they will be using. That's why the DHR suggested the "or cause to be created" language. Would it be acceptable

to you (and the other signatories) if we amend this line by saying "or cause to be created through the engagement of a qualified consultant"? Or is there other verbiage you

would suggest to convey this thought?

My goal is to have a revised MOA to all signatories tomorrow that is inclusive of ACHP and consulting party comments.

Thanks again!

Dear Kerri,

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) has completed its review of the Draft Memorandum of Agreement among the Federal Railroad Administration, the

Virginia Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation Regarding the

Washington, D.C. to Richmond, Virginia Southeast High Speed Rail Project submitted to ACHP via email on January 22, 2019.

This is a comprehensive Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and it contains a good process for addressing the undertaking’s adverse effects. Our comments generally

focus on clarifying roles and responsibilities, ensuring consistency in the administrative stipulations with our guidance, and addressing the applicability of design guidelines

for any new construction in or near historic properties. We have provided our comments, insertions, and red line edits in the attached Word document.

We understand FRA’s desire to move forward with this agreement. This Section 106 agreement document, therefore, should adhere to our regulations and be

comprehensive so as to avoid the potential for subsequent procedural challenges. Accordingly, we urge FRA to consider revising the agreement document to address all

comments provided by consulting parties. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Sarah

Hi Sarah and John (and Dan),

(Dan, I added you here as I know John is out of town and I wasn't sure if you are looking at any of this while he is gone- delete if you are staying away!)

Attached are the DHR's latest round of comments on the DC2RVA MOA. They are made to the clean Draft 6 wherein ACHP and NTHP edits have been made but the latest FRA

edits have NOT yet been rendered to the document. I wanted to send these to you so you can see their feedback. There are just a couple of word changes and one

comment, which I have addressed with an edit. (Roger and Marc- this edit work for you?)

Once I get ACHP and DRPTs next round of edits (and any ensuing comments from FRA on the DHR edits), I will merge all of the post Draft 6 edits into one document and

send them around as a Track Changes document along with a clean Draft 7 for another review. 

Thanks!

Kerri
